‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ Bites Back into Select Theaters This Weekend
Now available on 4K and Blu-ray, Sony’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage is now making a return to theaters, likely to capitalize on the smash hit success of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Let There Be Carnage is back in select theaters January 14, we’ve learned today!
Meagan Navarro writes in her review for Bloody Disgusting that Venom: Let There Be Carnage “hits the ground running and doesn’t stop for the brisk 90-minute runtime. It’s the perfect runtime for a rom-com, but as a superhero movie, it gets sloppy.”
She continues, “But it’s hard not to be charmed by Venom attempting to cheer up his host with a lavish breakfast and pep talks. Or a dose of self-love and acceptance in the form of a confessional mic drop at a costume party. If you’re in the mood for silly, this sequel nails it. But for an epic showdown among monsters, it lacks bite.”
Tom Hardy is back as Eddie Brock, who is of course also the alien symbiote known as Venom. Woody Harrelson, who popped up as Cletus Kasady in the first film’s post-credits scene, ultimately becomes Carnage in the film. Michelle Williams is also back in the sequel to the smash hit movie from 2018, with Naomie Harris co-starring as Shriek.
Andy Serkis directed the sequel to 2018’s Venom.

Original ‘Blair Witch Project’ Star Heather Donahue Explains Why She’s Not Part of the New Movie Team
When it was recently announced that the original filmmakers and stars of The Blair Witch Project had been invited to join the filmmaking team for the upcoming Blumhouse reboot movie, one name was notably missing from the lineup: Heather Donahue (aka Rei Hance), who of course played Heather in the original found footage horror classic back in 1999.
While Original Blair Witch Project filmmakers Eduardo Sánchez and Daniel Myrick, producer Gregg Hale, and stars Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams will executive produce the upcoming movie, Heather Donahue has made the decision to NOT be involved with the project.
Donahue explains in a Facebook comment this week, “There seems to be some willful confusion about my involvement with the reboot. I want to clarify that I am not participating.”
“I was offered an agreement that, for me personally, raised difficult long-term questions about rights, future technological use of identity and voice, the ability to speak freely, and compensation. Ultimately, it just wasn’t something I felt comfortable signing,” Donahue explains. “I genuinely wish everyone involved well.”
Donahue adds, “But preserving my autonomy mattered more to me.”
Thanks to the website Sequel Buzz for bringing this news to our attention.
Dylan Clark (Portrait of God) is set to direct the new take on the seminal found footage horror movie, and producer Jason Blum recently teased that it’s expected sometime in 2027.
Blumhouse’s Jason Blum and Atomic Monster‘s James Wan are producing the new Blair Witch Project with Roy Lee and Divide/Conquer’s Adam Hendricks & Greg Gilreath.
According to Deadline, Blair Witch‘s return “will deal with a family that goes on a camping trip but goes missing one by one after they hear strange noises in the forest.”
Much like David F. Sandberg, Curry Barker, and Kane Parsons before him, Dylan Clark was discovered on YouTube after going viral with his horror short Portrait of God. That short is already being expanded into a feature, with Jordan Peele and Sam Raimi producing.
